Is it possible?

No, it’s not possible.

It’s not possible because most objects aren’t created from source. A data area, for example, doesn’t have “source”. It is directly created by executing a CRTDTAARA command. Source isn’t needed.

An ILE program object can have dozens (or more) modules that make up the program. Each module is likely to have different source. So source for a *PGM object doesn’t make much sense. You look at the modules instead.

Library . . . . . . . . . . . . LIB LIBNAME
Object . . . . . . . . . . . . . OBJ *ALL
Object type . . . . . . . . . . OBJTYPE *ALL
Object attribute . . . . . . . . OBJATR ‘PF-SRC’

otherwise, you want source physical file of object.. use DSPOBJD command

Object . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : PFNAME
Library . . . . . . . . . . . . . : LIBNAME
Library ASP device . . . . . . . . . : *SYSBAS
Type . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *FILE

Source file . . . . . . . . . . . . : DATABASE — SOURCE PHYSICAL FILE NAME
Library . . . . . . . . . . . . . : SATHISH551

If the *PGM was created from source, then DSPOBJD will show source details.

However, ILE programs are not created from source. They are created by binding *MODULE objects together. A *MODULE can be viewed with DSPOBJD to find a reference back to its source.

A *PGM that is compiled for OPM will show a source reference with DSPOBJD.

DSPPGM will give the information for a *PGM object.

But it wont give the source PF for some objects like *PGM, *DTAARA, *DTAQ, *BNDDIR. Is it possible to find the Source PF of all object types in iSeries by using a single command??????.

It wont give the source pf of all other objects like *PGM ,*DTAARA, *DTAQ, BNDDIR. So i m asking about a command that is useful to find out the source PF for all objects supported by iSeries? Is it possible?????
